 Rusket Says:  Komiza is the ideal starting point for a trip to the Blue Grotto. See my Bisevo page for more info and pictures.

 Avryle Says:  Wow! I was told about a bazzilion times that I should go to the Blue Grotto but all I knew is that it was a cave and you had to take a boat to get to it. However, the boats will only run when the water is calm enough. One fine morning of my stay in Komiza, my cousin looked...

I chose a room with a private bathroom and a perfect...

 ktorre Says:  Service is friendly and rooms clean. By western standards it is more of a motel than a hotel, though It does have a restaurant.It is functional and the staff are wonderful, but if you are looking for a 4 star with all the amenities, this would not be for you. But if you are...

 Avryle Says:  I can't stress this one enough & will include this tip on every "accomodation" page it applies to. When and where it is available, stay in private accomodations. They were, in my experience, wonderful. While I am fortunate enough to have family to stay with in Komiza, I met...

 marktynernyc Says:  The setting is right on Komiza's harbor. Their seafood is known to be excellent quality judging by the dinner crowds. Be sure to make dinner reservations. I tried to go for lunch but by September they were only serving dinner. Get there early so as to watch evening settle... 

Bonaca: worth the hour and half hike

Bonaca: worth the hour and half hike, Komiza

 marktynernyc Says:  My host had arranged a meal with Senko, a Slow Food member, in a cove located about an hour away from Komiza, by moped. After an hour and half hike I arrived only to discover Senko had taken his boat to Komiza's harbour because of rough seas. His next door neighbor also runs...

Tavern Bako: Best Food, Service & Location, Komiza

 ktorre Says:  Bako sits on the water. You can eat out of doors to the lapping of the sea and the lights of the town and the harbor, which is our favorite. You can also eat indoors which is a stone dining area, a bar and a small gotto with live sea creatures and amphora. The seafood is... 

Transportation  

From Split or Hvar

Recognition!

There is a ferry from Split to Vis twice a day. I guess there is a bus connection between Vis and Komiza, if not, taxi's are not very expensive.

The link below is to Jadrolinija, which used to have a monopoly. But I know that smaller companies are popping up. The catamaran on the picture, which is now called Mala Lara, traffics the islands. It used to cross the fjord from Stavanger to Jørpeland under the name Hidle in the 1990's. My son recognized it, and we could still see the old name through the new paint on the stern :-)

Another possibility is to go by one of the tour boats from Split or Hvar and simply get off at Komiza.

Favorite thing: The wonderful beaches. They are mostly pebble beaches and therefore you don't have to contend with sand getting in everything.

The water is blue, clean and warm. As it is a sea waves are small.

The clarity of the water gives you a wonderful view of the flora and sea life.

Fondest memory: Laying on the beach with our legs in the water at 1:00am watching the stars.
